I narrate a long round with my fellow purple belt. He started in the kids rankings and has quickly ascended to purple as young adult. This roll contains many technical transitions that you may find interesting. Thank you for watching.
Great videos. 47 year old purple belt here. I appreciate hearing your narration as you're slowing them down some. I'm starting to have to do the same thing.
50 here. About to become purple. It always amazes me the gaps between lot of late blue/early purples. I never gaz out even when rolling with 20ish purples. I think it has to do with my wrestling background. I appreciate your humbleness about your strength and holes in your games.
Well congratulations purple is a great belt level. I am just being honest about my strength. One attribute I have is speed but I try not to use it. I aim for better timing instead. I wish I had a wrestling background! I don’t want to gas out or even breath with my mouth open. Thank you for commenting and watching!
By then a lot of purples have calmed down, regardless of age. They usually are smooth and efficient, which allows both parties to calm down and have a strategic roll (in my experience...).
Great commentary. I subbed because your approach to jits and not wasting energy is very interesting. Just curious why you dont lift weights to compliment your jits? Do you do any cardio or anything outside of Jujitsu? Thank you for your time.
Thank you! I was never someone who enjoyed weight lifting. I come from a skateboarding, biking, action sports background. Before Jiujitsu I did Shaolin Kung fu for ten years. Now I hike and have an electric skateboard. After all these years I realized only a certain level of fitness is required. The rest of the answers are in the Jiujitsu. Thank you for watching.
I often state I wish I had started Jiu-Jitsu earlier too. (I'm a 49 year old Brown Belt). However, when I look at all my buddies who have become Black Belts over the years, unless they own a school, they eventually fade away and stop training. I admit that I love grappling and it's intrinsic (motivation) for me, but I don't have a Black belt around my waist so I don't know what they are thinking. I also studied Judo earlier and my school closed so I never earned a Black Belt, but I think I probably would have never started BJJ if I did and would just grapple to grapple. I would probably run some sort of Judo/submission grappling hybrid academy.
I’ve been a purple belt almost 6 years. I started Jiujitsu in 2008. Left Marcelo Garcia academy during Covid. I just started at my latest academy last year. I would say most of the guys I started with quit long ago. It’s not who’s good. It’s who’s left.
@@Jitsover50 Exactly! - Chris Haueter, - It's my favorite quote. I even used it during my Brown Belt promotion speech (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DVXWoAd0wpU.html). I was a purple belt for a long time as well. I left a gi school for a no gi school as a two stripe purple belt. I missed testing for my third stripe due to covid and then trained and coached there for three years before returning back to a gi school and earning my Brown belt. You're right, a lot of guys, in general, don't train anymore. - Great videos!
@@mouthguardcomic I just watched! That's awesome! Yeah I was hoping to be a black by 50. Oh well! It will come eventually. I still have something to look forward to
@@Jitsover50 Thank you! True, it will come eventually. I think having something to look forward to plays a huge part even in something I love to do too.
I just got my Judo black belt after 18 years of having a brown belt. I don't think my mindset will change, and I'm working to get my 2nd Dan as soon as I can now (3 years that is)!
As a Judo guy who loves his ground work, I always wonder how BJJ guys would change their game plan under Judo rules. Since you have only about 30s, there is no conserving energy (except you want to avoid the fight and just wait for the ref to interrupt). The few times I got into a ne-waza round with someone coming from BJJ he just shut me down until time ran out. And for the other way around, I would probably exhaust myself before time runs out and then a clever BJJ guy would start his attacks.
@@Jitsover50 I was talking about the ground game. In Judo we do some ground only (ne-waza) fights for training too. Of course some rules are different from BJJ there, but for me the main difference is that we do not train for any setups that take a longer time or too many steps. It's mostly trying to pass the guard, pin, submission or direct submission from guard position and if it takes longer than 30s it's just not suitable for Judo.
@@Hipp0campusyou said it yourself . The rules and TIME make judo and BJJ a totally different sport it like playing quick chess and normal chess 🥋🇧🇷🇯🇵⛩️♟️
I dont think this is correct. In my experience, it's one or the other: you can have the better base by using active toes, but you risk getting your knees jacked if you get folded over. When you feet are tucked in your base is not as solid but if you get hip bumped or otherwise swept to the side your knees will be safe.
Just a pinch of salt, good posture in general, well also your jiujitsu is too complacent, there were loads of opportunity for openings but they were not used for your taking.
